C.T. Studd

Do you face a difficulty today that seems impossible to resolve? For a bit of encouragement, consider one of God’s choice servants who believed that God would accomplish the impossible for him. C.T. Studd was born in England into great wealth and was educated at Cambridge. While at university, Studd became the premier cricket player in all of Great Britain.

J U L Y 2 4 “… this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” — 1 John 5:4

Victory By Faith

Do you ever feel overcome by the cares of the world? We may often feel on the brink of defeat, but God has destined that we overcome the world. What does “world” mean in this context? It stands for the worldly system under Satan’s rule with all its lust, greed, animosity, and self-centeredness. This world system is antithetical to Christ and must be overcome. But how do we overcome it? Through faith. As a well-known hymn... More

J U L Y 2 3 “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” — 1 Corinthians 15:55

Death Swallowed Up

Someone once asked: “Who has not at some time in his or her life trembled at the thought of death? Who has been able to resist it?” All our human might and wisdom have no power against its invincible might. But as Christians, we needn’t fear. The great specter of death that has always clouded the horizon does not reign supreme. Against this heartless monster, God commissioned His Son, Jesus, who sat at His right hand.... More

J U L Y 2 2 “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to his purpose.” — Romans 8:28

The Alchemy Of God

Have you ever had a rock and wished you could change it into a diamond? Years ago, before the advent of chemistry, a science called alchemy existed, and alchemists had a similar passion: finding a way to transform worthless metals into gold. Of course, they never succeeded. But God is the master alchemist. He has a passion for taking all things and working them for good. Charles Spurgeon tells about one man who had complete faith that God... More

J U L Y 2 1 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee …” — Isaiah 26:3

Taking The Strain Out Of Life

Many people run themselves into the ground because of stress, strain, worry, and anxiety. I suppose a proper epitaph for most people in America today would be “Hurried, worried, buried.” Did I just write your biography? Many times we wish we could wash our hands of all our responsibilities and worries. The executive of one small company decided he would. Even though his company was headed for bankruptcy, he decided to quit... More

J U L Y 2 0 “Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with Your generous Spirit.” — Psalm 51:12

The Cause And Cure Of Sadness

The greatest lie that Satan has ever told the human race is this: We shall find joy through sin; we’ll achieve true happiness by disregarding the commandments of God and letting ourselves follow our passions. Have you ever believed and trusted this lie, only to find yourself miserable and defeated? Sin is a great deceiver. Before it binds, it blinds. Think of Samson, who was blinded and made to grind grain like an ox. Sin is subtle, a... More

J U L Y 1 8 “And Ittai answered the king and said, ‘As the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in whatever place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also your servant will be.’” — 2 Samuel 15:21

Loyalty

Have you ever been betrayed by a friend? Have you experienced the heartache of disloyalty? In our mobile society where divorce, the breakdown of families, corporate mergers, and hostile takeovers are commonplace, loyalty is sometimes a rare quality. Often it seems that everybody’s out for “number one.” Yet loyalty is one of the most fragrant and lovely of all the flowers that grow in the garden of the soul. Does it grow in... More
